The food at this restaurant is delicious with generous portions. I highly recommend trying the ravioli and grilled salmon.

Unfortunately, the service at the restaurant was lacking during my recent visit. The staff consisted of one new waitress on her first day and the bartender, who was supposed to leave but stayed to help out due to a lack of leadership. The new waitress struggled as she had not been properly trained, leaving us waiting for a hostess to assist us for over two hours. The experience started on a negative note, with only some of us receiving the daily special and salad that was supposed to come with our meal. The food, including the boiled floor sirloin steak, was good but the portions were smaller than expected. I have been a patron of this restaurant for 20 years and have always been satisfied, but it appears that the establishment is now under new ownership and needs to improve their operations to stay in business.

The pizza at this restaurant is not good. The sausage pizza only has one piece of sausage per slice, which is disappointing. Overall, the pizza doesn't taste very good. This restaurant is located in a small town.

We decided to celebrate my wife's birthday at this restaurant because they offer a free entree for birthdays with proof of ID. She ordered the Combo Sub and thought it was delicious, especially enjoying the fresh sliced meat instead of the typical deli meat. I opted for the half rack of ribs, which were absolutely amazing - tender, perfectly seasoned, with a wonderful hint of smokiness. The homemade fries were also delicious, double fried and crispy. We will definitely return to try more items from the menu.
